I watched wtd for a little bit before his melt down. I saw a guy who was a great researcher and enjoyed the hip hop genre. Nothing about his videos told me that he fully understood black culture (thats no offense, he just seemed far removed and didn't appear to have close ties other than the black creators who supported his journey). As time went on & celebrities gave him praise, his head got so effin big that he forgot who he was. That drake video was so goofy and so trash. WTD couldn't fathom that he did a bad job & legit thought he understood black experiences, the history of certain words & showed that he viewed black ppl a certain way. Justin didn't fit into that box and wtd tried to embarrass that man. He legit thought he was funny when he made fun of him for not saying the n word. I was disgusted and saddened. Due to his praise, he felt like he had more say on black experience than the black ppl who told him they were offended. It made me sick and I see white ppl (and others) doing hurtful things like this and I just wish they could sit their ego down and listen for a bit. Sorry for rambling. I've enjoyed your videos, but haven't been recommended recent vids. I'm gonna change my notification settings.
To state my position in this conflict with Company Man and WTD, I was a fan of WTD, and I didn't know Company Man that much or his YT. Seeing the back and forth, from start to finish, made me frustrated and annoyed not only at WTD's inferences and interpreting of of facts, but about how dishonest Company Man really was in presenting WTD. In his first video, response to WTD's Family Matters, Company Man intentionally focused in on WTD's counting of n**** 37 times as if he's a white ignorant racist. When I reviewed further, WTD is in fact justified to pay more attention to that word because in Euphoria Kendrick was saying to Drake 'We don't wanna hear you say n**** NNNOOO MMMOOORRREEE!!', and par his breakdown Channel and analysis WTD noted that Drake was more often using this word. Also Company Man falsely conflated WTD's manifesto to become the ;best hip hop head in this space' for a goal, which is not categorically a goal. Furthermore, I also had issues with Company Man's or Justin Hunte's response to WTD's crashout stream. Firstly I disagreed with how WTD handled this drama he should've ignored him, or broke down where Company Man misrepresented him and moved on ignoring Company Man. In Company Man's video he claims, after viewing in screen WTD's Channel that there were '21 Black people' and 'absolutely ZERO white people.'. That was factually false because 10 seconds earlier on screen we saw 4 thumbnails of white people rappers, 1 about Eminem and other rap beef, 2 vids on Tom Macdonald being some culture vulture, and 1 video on Kid Rock being a culture vulture. If WTD was such an ignorant white racist, then why does he have 4 thumbnails of white rappers, 2 videos on Tom Macdonald and 1 on Kid Rock being culture vultures? IMHO, I could be wrong just intuitively speculating here, Company Man got in his feelings and was triggered by WTD's counting of n**** 37 times, because Company Man stated that he didn't use the word for 20 years. IDK if he meant verbally or thought about the word, but that's his proclamation, which is suspicious to me because the common motif for abstinence is avoidance of someone, something or some image or word's power over you. Also Company Man later stated he was really biased for Kendrick and wanted Kendrick to win, which IMHO is his confirmation bias which made him misrepresent WTD in that way.
@@danielnelson3136I read every word twice because it was hard to believe someone else would share so many of the same opinions I held about such a complex and sticky topic. Props to ReedMySoul for fostering a healthy place for these discussions. He speaks from Love. I have a white wife and a mixed son. Admittedly it may seem like I have a blind spot here, but I’ve thought deeply and for a long time about these matters. Born to a Civil Rights lawyer with Hip Hop in the Bronx in 1980, ain’t nobody finna tell me I’m not black enough or Hip Hop is for Black folks or FUBU or that I’m some “guest” in hip hop bc I’m Puerto Rican. Gtfo here with that. Thank you Reed, for acknowledging my plight by speaking with Love.
@@JamisonRelapse Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, also shout out to Reed as well for letting me comment, even Company Man despite how heated it got with a few users in his comment section. I also agree, and this reminded me of Benzino and the level of trolling/hating that came after Benzino after the whole beef he had with Eminem. People forget how Benzino actually helped out The Source at one point that time being the most mainstream hip hop news ever, and he was even a decent rapper himself. Now I have my takes on him, and many others, and even if Benzino got his flaws I would be wrong for denying his place in hip hop history. While Benzino's rap style is nowadays basic, it's still nice given how many people now do fast rap, Eminem like flows, mumble rap this and that. Listening to older classics just gives my ears a rest from all those fast rap styles now.
@@JamisonRelapse American Black/Black culture is a culture, so everyone else is a guest in Black culture. I will add that Hip-Hop is a collective of cultures but majority Black. So its open to everyone who contributed, including Puerto Ricans...I'm not understanding the coloration because you are not White. WTD true whiteness came out in his crash out video. White people especially will always be a guest of the culture... due to the history of whiteness here in this county gatekeeping is indeed needed otherwise like Country, Jazz, and Rock will be lead to erasure..
@@danielnelson3136 NO! To everything you stated. I will start with. The reason why the OVO camp PAID WTD to do that hit piece through the Happy Dad brand deal is to reach people like YOU! Someone who only knows hip hop and it's references through videos and commentary but not through experience. IF you had any experience with the Diaspora you wouldn't have just typed what you did. This is not about black and white it is about CULTURE. No matter how many times that is stated persons like yourself will still focus on race driven talking points which are used only to elicit emotion and not rational linear disagreement absent of emotional undertones. For example, It does not matter how many movies a person watches on black experiences in inner cities they will NEVER know what it feels like to hear gunshots LIVE AND IN PERSON in a very close proximity and how hearing that over time causes a desensitization and both a hyper vigilance at the same time which sounds absurd but is 100% the experience of EVERYONE in the hood. Similar to someone outside of culture trying to figure out why someone who counted the N word 37 times would be OFFENSIVE to anyone within the culture whether they personally used the N word or not for 20 years. All of your references show clearly who you are, You have the right to your opinion of course. But as far as it being authoritative or even valid when it comes to culture is a fallacy. So.. you can type 3 thousand paragraphs about your position on the conflict, but it means nothing as far as the culture is concerned. We are not an echo chamber. We feel the way and think the way we do because of EXPERIENCE. This is something you cannot understand or duplicate. A group with common shared experiences and traditions which drives their art, expression and focus. This is the core of the issue with the current climate and why the word CULTURE keeps appearing within.... not race... CULTURE... not nationality... CULTURE.... NOT LOCATION.... CULTURE. Lastly. do not put your own creeds in our world. When you stated abstinence is avoidance and has power over a person is how YOU operate. Go get followed around a Walmart simply because you showed up and people such as yourself had pre conceived notions about you based on this fact.. then you may slowly begin to understand....
I think part of the problem (in regards to why phenomenal black creators don't have the numbers of mediocre white creators) has to do with the algorithm, as well. You touched on it when talking about searching 'sneakers'; it's harder to *find* black creators in the first place. That's a problem that needs to be addressed; it shouldn't take "beef" or "drama" to have them rise to the forefront
There's also talent agencies, influencer networks, and the access to tech companies, unavailable to most others, that they provide for those that are part of those things. There will always be a huge unseen advantage for those with connections to power networks that are invisible to most of us.

I honestly thought WTD just had an unconscious bias, as he stated he's a huge Aubrey fan before, and that bias just came out in that Family Matters video. Once he started doubling down and spreading the narratives more I knew it wasn't unconscious but purposeful. All the research he claims to do and he never checked the dates of the story the girl told about what happened in Vegas. Mad weird. Then to tell a black man he not black?! It's the same weird sh*t Aubrey did when he tried to say what Kendrick was and wasn't in the West Coast. It let me know just like Aubrey, WTD not like us.
3:21 You are spot on about DJ Alcoholics. He sat way over in New jersey talking about Chicago gangs and perpatrated more murders in my city in the 2020's with no knowledge of my city
First, thank you so much for your discussion about Blackness and gatekeeping our culture. It’s never been about race. It’s always been about respect for the culture. Second, thank you very, very much for addressing the misogyny and hatred of Black women in hip hop and in the community in general. So many of us truly appreciate this. And third, I was highly offended by What’s the Dirt, but our community let him in. What typically happens is that we don’t gate keep the culture enough. So we let these folk come in, do really well. We hype them up. (I saw too many people in the culture throwing praise at this guy and doing too much to shower him with praise and inviting him to the cookout. It was concerning.) So when Matt was able to mock the culture, define what blackness is, and go way too far. I really appreciate you shutting that down. I appreciate the others doing that too.
He started off being someone who broke down HipHop lyrics from beefs, until he got lost in his hubris and sold his soul to the OVO crew🤦🏽♀️ He really had a great potential to being one of the go to channels for breakdowns, but his bias became his downfall
I watched a few of his videos because they were doing such huge numbers, but I'm a white European so I didn't think I should take my hip hop information from a white Canadian. That seemed pretty useless. So I ignored his channel, wasn't right for me, whatever. Then someone pointed out his Trump seltzer sponsorship and I knew this fool isn't just as much outside the culture as I am, he's shady as hell. AS HELL.
Literally same 😂 I watched his "history of the beef" video and he was basically just recapping things other creators had been saying so I moved on. I watched reactions to his 6 16 one instead - didn't get a good vibe from him at all.
@@dandelion_official4812 Right, it was so obvious he was just repeating what other people were saying, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because there's value in gathering all these theories in one place and just presenting them as is. The thing that bugged me is that he rarely seemed to credit any of the black creators he took that info from. Like, how hard is it to say "so and so on this channel said this and I thought it was great so go give them love." If he did do that and I missed it I obviously take it back, but I think if you're a white person in the hip hop commentariat it's 1000x more important to shout people out. If you're going to take up space, if you absolutely must, you better be damn sure you take some people with you. Like you have to know that the algorithm is working for you and against them so at minimum (AT MINIMUM) you have to do your part to correct that unfairness. I never saw him do that or even acknowledge he knew it was happening. But besides all that, he just never talked about anything substantial. Sure, he could do the Genius thing of explaining every granular reference but he didn't have the experience and knowledge to put those things in their wider context. (Neither do I, but that's just one of the many, many reasons I haven't started a hip hop commentary channel.) Who honestly cares if you can identify what that machine sound was or if there's a yacht called Predator if you don't understand the social context of why the beef was happening in the first place? It all felt extremely navel-gazey to me. He can parrot the textbook but he doesn't understand the material.
@@JamisonRelapse Thanks, but I'm just saying what I learned from others too, mainly TCM, FD Signifier, [Deleted] and ShawnCee. The irony isn't lost on me, trust me.
Man..those ppl ain’t never heard of Jurassic 5, Hieroglyphics, A Tribe Called Quest, the Roots..HIP HOP artists. They speak on real life, uplifting shit. Pharcyde, Murs, Atmosphere, I can go on forever. These artists have straight classics. If you are reading this, and have not listened to any of em. Plz do. I miss that type of art..K Dot has a feeling of that time. Cole does too at times. Sorry for the rant lol. Love y’all. Please vote.
I think his apology to Justin was really fake. WTD thinks that his audience doesn’t know anything about hip-hop unless he tells them. Because if you watch the first video he made about Justin. He acted like he didn’t know who Justin was. He acted like Justin was just some TH-camr. The thing that really makes me know that he’s fake though that he was talking with Monie before he dropped his family matters video and she had receipts that proved Kendrick never hit Whitney. She told him straight up if you put that in the video as a fact, it’s not going to be good and he did it anyway, and after his video was released, he turned around and called her a hater…….. but still use the three week old clip of her saying saying nice things about him to make it look like she cosigned his bullshit. That’s the biggest problem with Matt is he thinks his audience is stupid. He really thinks that his audience that watches his videos aren’t watching every other video about Kendrick Lamar versus Drake. Thought he was so big that if anyone called him out on it, all he had to do was say they were just hating on him for clout and people would buy it. The whole world knows that not only were the dates wrong and kind wasn’t even there that night, but that the girl that was actually beat up was Cassie and it was Diddy that beat her up. Matt knows that but he still wants to push this narrative that it was kind because he sees what’s happening with Aiden Ross, AK and Adam 22 . And he’s watching Adam and Aiden and he realize that after he apologized that these other two white boys didn’t have to apologize and they just double down on disrespecting black men in favor of Drake and they’re getting away with it so now he thinks it’s OK for him to do it too. What’s the purpose of an apology if you’re just gonna come back and keep lying to Black people about Black people?
I'd love a culture vulture video...but I'm a video essay head, FD Sig, D'Angelo, Kat Blaque, Interlexual, Conscious Lee, etc. and all of those keep me going with the long videos.
Cant really blame people for the algorithm. Despite his recent crashout. He had decent videos that people would've tuned into, regardless of race. Which makes his crashout look worse in retrospect
The most disappointing thing for me,was platforms like Joe budden podcast,one of the so called gatekeepers,saying he found nothing wrong at all with that Dirt guys breakdown,and even DMing him,who needs enemies when they are within?
I think that as a white person in hip hop you should keep in your heart that the competitive nature of it doesn't apply in the same way to you. It's so easy to take a lot away when being white, because white privilege is a thing. I think that when WTD tried to punk TCM for not having the same hype, he was taking advantage of that lopsidedness in a way that's insensitive for someone who is involved in hip hop culture. As for the rapper persona, I think that a lot of it comes from tropes... People who were really like that made epic tales out of that imagery, and now we all have these images to "use". In my way of seeing it, it's a way to portray feeling violently more than the box in which people are trying to put you. There's a lot of symbolism and poetry going on in gangsta inspired rap. To confuse that with guidelines for real life masculinity is kind of crazy, tho. Drake is doing a lot by trying to get his hands dirty just to live aesthetically, for an example. p.s: Decypher Ed is amazing for breakdowns. Skip has very nuanced and knowledgeable commentary for every track.
As a biracial black woman married to a white man, I’d really be interested in your experience with y’all’s marriage! Of course no one is a monolith so you can’t speak for anyone as a group, but interracial relationships have so much nuance that I haven’t see voiced.
That part! I'm an Indigenous Mexican/Louisiana Creole mix married to a white/Cherokee. I guess not anymore, he passed in April, still getting used to that. But the years together....wow. Both being products of interracial couples to become the 4 corners of the earth we were packed a lot of nuance. I don't think we got as many looks as you might, though, no one race knew who to be mad at, if you feel me. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Perhaps you should start a channel
@@magnolia_g Sending you so much strength as you adjust to this new part of life ❤️🩹 I hope the things that remind you of him begin to bring comfort that you aren’t alone, just surrounded differently. I’ve been thinking about starting a channel for forever now, maybe this is the push I needed! Definitely going to start pondering the topic (: Thanks for the encouragement!
to be fair vlad knows about hip pop history. People like Ak and adam don't even care to learn about hip pop because they don't really love it like that
Justin Hunte, The Company Man just reacted to one of you videos and recommended your channel and and I came to check it out. Am not disappointed, you have a new subscriber.
We have a tendency to heap too much praise on these guys. That’s the real problem. We need to learn how to gatekeep much better than we do as a culture. I believe that’s what Kendrick is talking about. Not so much about race but about respecting the culture.
Another great insightful video start my day. I want to make a few points about the three people. 1) Dj Vlad is a clown and a hungry culture vulture trying so hard to be black. He’s an informant who constantly gets people interviews to speak about drug & gang related violence. 2) I never like DJ Akademiks he to me is an instigator who’s always running his mouth and act like a radio gangster, I didn’t like the idea how he disrespected Spice 1 and OG West Coast legend. 3) Adam 22 is the worst all his interviews when I watch him closely is always an argument and always fighting, he used to be a porn star and he still married to porn star name Lena the plug. You’re 100% right we should’ve never allowed these two out of three clowns into our culture.
First time watching your channel. This video was really informative and concise You have a good eye and a good way of relating the information. Looking forward to watching more videos
As a racially ambitious woman who fits in none of the categories, I appreciate your thoughts on code switching- I'm not rich enough to be above it. And thank you for the talk on misogyny, I find it's usually women holding it down and lifting up. The only white person I listen to about hip hop is Professor Sky, but it's hard to find those who aren't all drama and gossip, you're right. So first time here, gonna stay. I'd also like to hear about your interracial marriage, cause all my relationships are interracial. Thanks for the nuance
WTD was already toxic because of his coverage on black drama and trauma. But I believe OVO got to him, because it took FOREVER to drop that Family Matters breakdown. He probably was sending it to Drake for review and approval on every point. Lol
I respect you young brother. You get it. There's alot of people outside our culture who simply do not understand the nuances of hip hop and black people. We definitely need to gatekeep this thing of ours a bit better.
Well, well, well! I'm from South Carolina too, Rock Hill to be exact. The WTD crash out was wild because YT folks really been saying the quiet thing out loud all 2024. Idk how they getting so comfortable showing it buuuuut...I'm GLAD it's getting exposed.
Sadly, your words are indeed true about the culture should share some of the blame and how some black creators are to blame as well. I know this one “content creator” who is black and basically defended WTD while shifting the blame on TCM. I tried educating him about why WTD is getting all this heat, but he basically shrugged me off and double down on his take. That lets me know he’s part of the problem too. P.S.: I put the air quotes around “content creator” because nobody is watching his videos 😅
I’m black, and we’ve constantly had these conversations forever, so I understand what you’re trying to say. I agree with most of it. The way you worded certain things, to me, may come off as if you believe that the way white ppl talk and behave should be the standard, when in public. Code switching shouldn’t be necessary, whether we’re in public, or not. We should be able to speak however we do, and still be respected, as long as we’re respectful to others. We have to educate ourselves, and others, and stop accepting the narrative that the way we speak, isn’t appropriate in the workplace, and other public places. I’m not referring to slang, of course you have to minimize using that at work, but AAVE is just the way the majority of black ppl speak, because of our history in America. You’re right about black ppl not being a monolith. Making assumptions based off of stereotypes is never right for anyone to do. As far as Future, I understand what you mean, in regards to the character issues he displays, at times, but there are black men/women who talk, and look like him, that are upstanding, and they deserve respect. We should be able to be us, no matter what setting we’re in.
You just reminded me of being at a Halloween party for all the people I worked with, where I was all buzzed out & was dancing n grinding against my boss's girlfriend the whole night 🤣
This is all facts. When WTD said that N-word shit I knew he don’t know black people just gangsta rap shit. To him people like Justin Hunt don’t exist. My thing with Trap Lor Ross is he lost himself. He don’t talk about Hip Hop he just talks about Chicago killings and king Von…but that’s what gets him the most views.
Excellent thoughts! Please, please, please clip a piece of your segment at the end about what it means to be black and stick it at the beginning. That's what folks visiting the culture don't understand - we are allowing them to see facets of our existence, not the entirety of it. So some things are just not in their knowledge base to comment on. Also, no one has really mentioned it, but if his explanation of why Drake was saying certain things was true, then that just further supports why Drake is being considered a culture vulture - because he doesn't have the knowledge base, either...
You say “Raw & Uncut” but your MINDS CUTTING ROOM FLOOR tells me different. The fact that you took your time to respond to this tells me you struggled with this for weeks. The time you took to self edit, is the only kind of work that can see us through this. That and time bro bro
Biggest thing I appreciate about you is your honesty..btw I don't like that Harris lady and won't vote for her or Trump but I feel what you sayin when it's comes to the switching shit I work in an office so I know how to turn it on and off..we with our people but when we somewhere else we hold it down all the Time
Dang a little late on This one huh😂 Actually it's cool to get people reaction who let all the dirt (No pun intended) settle before you come with your accesment of the situation people who do it that way usually have the best perspectives no trying to be first on a topic
You probably gonna hate me but I did enjoy the academix stuff in the beginning with the war in chiraq shit was funny back then. Looking back, I know it was ignorant and stupid, but it's hard for me to just shame it now, given how much fun I have with it a good time. He been ass for like 8 years now
You should have pulled a Suge Knight at the source awards and said if don't want a content that don't go around promotin black people violence in they videos, countin N words in songs, researchin n166as genealogies n shit ... Come to Reedmysole 💪🏾
It's important for black people to gatekeep our culture. If outsiders appreciate the culture, cool but please proceed as if you're guest in our house-use manners, take your shoes off, ask permission, cleanup after yourself, and lock the door when you leave.
10:13 this i never looked at Future as a real rapper. Yeah he got hooks and a coukd bars but he raps about the same thing at his big age with all HIS children looking up to him.
Loved the video, bodyslamming the sub and like buttons. I’m very new to the yt hip hop space but I will say that the main thing that pissed me off about wtd is that he’s a white CANADIAN questioning the blackness of an AMERICAN black man like bro, stay on your side of the border. You actually know nothing at all.
Calling Justin Hunte Carlton as a white n166a from Canada is like Drake calling Dr Dre Carlton. Both dudes may not started out as street dudes but they got cred nonetheless they was out there, may not be putting it work but they study the streets and has the ear of the street n166as. By the eay you hella funny bruh I love watching your shit cus we have similar ways like we been through shit in our hoods but we in the books and understand the "white" vernacular.. I know it's bullshit to say that but that's how the world see it
I don’t know how old you are but you are definitely what the culture needs… our young people are lost…
I watched wtd for a little bit before his melt down. I saw a guy who was a great researcher and enjoyed the hip hop genre. Nothing about his videos told me that he fully understood black culture (thats no offense, he just seemed far removed and didn't appear to have close ties other than the black creators who supported his journey). As time went on & celebrities gave him praise, his head got so effin big that he forgot who he was. That drake video was so goofy and so trash. WTD couldn't fathom that he did a bad job & legit thought he understood black experiences, the history of certain words & showed that he viewed black ppl a certain way. Justin didn't fit into that box and wtd tried to embarrass that man. He legit thought he was funny when he made fun of him for not saying the n word. I was disgusted and saddened. Due to his praise, he felt like he had more say on black experience than the black ppl who told him they were offended. It made me sick and I see white ppl (and others) doing hurtful things like this and I just wish they could sit their ego down and listen for a bit. Sorry for rambling. I've enjoyed your videos, but haven't been recommended recent vids. I'm gonna change my notification settings.
To state my position in this conflict with Company Man and WTD, I was a fan of WTD, and I didn't know Company Man that much or his YT. Seeing the back and forth, from start to finish, made me frustrated and annoyed not only at WTD's inferences and interpreting of of facts, but about how dishonest Company Man really was in presenting WTD. In his first video, response to WTD's Family Matters, Company Man intentionally focused in on WTD's counting of n**** 37 times as if he's a white ignorant racist. When I reviewed further, WTD is in fact justified to pay more attention to that word because in Euphoria Kendrick was saying to Drake 'We don't wanna hear you say n**** NNNOOO MMMOOORRREEE!!', and par his breakdown Channel and analysis WTD noted that Drake was more often using this word. Also Company Man falsely conflated WTD's manifesto to become the ;best hip hop head in this space' for a goal, which is not categorically a goal.
Furthermore, I also had issues with Company Man's or Justin Hunte's response to WTD's crashout stream. Firstly I disagreed with how WTD handled this drama he should've ignored him, or broke down where Company Man misrepresented him and moved on ignoring Company Man. In Company Man's video he claims, after viewing in screen WTD's Channel that there were '21 Black people' and 'absolutely ZERO white people.'. That was factually false because 10 seconds earlier on screen we saw 4 thumbnails of white people rappers, 1 about Eminem and other rap beef, 2 vids on Tom Macdonald being some culture vulture, and 1 video on Kid Rock being a culture vulture. If WTD was such an ignorant white racist, then why does he have 4 thumbnails of white rappers, 2 videos on Tom Macdonald and 1 on Kid Rock being culture vultures?
IMHO, I could be wrong just intuitively speculating here, Company Man got in his feelings and was triggered by WTD's counting of n**** 37 times, because Company Man stated that he didn't use the word for 20 years. IDK if he meant verbally or thought about the word, but that's his proclamation, which is suspicious to me because the common motif for abstinence is avoidance of someone, something or some image or word's power over you. Also Company Man later stated he was really biased for Kendrick and wanted Kendrick to win, which IMHO is his confirmation bias which made him misrepresent WTD in that way.

I also agree, and this reminded me of Benzino and the level of trolling/hating that came after Benzino after the whole beef he had with Eminem. People forget how Benzino actually helped out The Source at one point that time being the most mainstream hip hop news ever, and he was even a decent rapper himself. Now I have my takes on him, and many others, and even if Benzino got his flaws I would be wrong for denying his place in hip hop history. While Benzino's rap style is nowadays basic, it's still nice given how many people now do fast rap, Eminem like flows, mumble rap this and that. Listening to older classics just gives my ears a rest from all those fast rap styles now.
@@JamisonRelapse American Black/Black culture is a culture, so everyone else is a guest in Black culture. I will add that Hip-Hop is a collective of cultures but majority Black. So its open to everyone who contributed, including Puerto Ricans...I'm not understanding the coloration because you are not White. WTD true whiteness came out in his crash out video. White people especially will always be a guest of the culture... due to the history of whiteness here in this county gatekeeping is indeed needed otherwise like Country, Jazz, and Rock will be lead to erasure..
@@danielnelson3136 NO! To everything you stated. I will start with. The reason why the OVO camp PAID WTD to do that hit piece through the Happy Dad brand deal is to reach people like YOU! Someone who only knows hip hop and it's references through videos and commentary but not through experience. IF you had any experience with the Diaspora you wouldn't have just typed what you did. This is not about black and white it is about CULTURE. No matter how many times that is stated persons like yourself will still focus on race driven talking points which are used only to elicit emotion and not rational linear disagreement absent of emotional undertones. For example, It does not matter how many movies a person watches on black experiences in inner cities they will NEVER know what it feels like to hear gunshots LIVE AND IN PERSON in a very close proximity and how hearing that over time causes a desensitization and both a hyper vigilance at the same time which sounds absurd but is 100% the experience of EVERYONE in the hood. Similar to someone outside of culture trying to figure out why someone who counted the N word 37 times would be OFFENSIVE to anyone within the culture whether they personally used the N word or not for 20 years. All of your references show clearly who you are, You have the right to your opinion of course. But as far as it being authoritative or even valid when it comes to culture is a fallacy. So.. you can type 3 thousand paragraphs about your position on the conflict, but it means nothing as far as the culture is concerned. We are not an echo chamber. We feel the way and think the way we do because of EXPERIENCE. This is something you cannot understand or duplicate. A group with common shared experiences and traditions which drives their art, expression and focus. This is the core of the issue with the current climate and why the word CULTURE keeps appearing within.... not race... CULTURE... not nationality... CULTURE.... NOT LOCATION.... CULTURE. Lastly. do not put your own creeds in our world. When you stated abstinence is avoidance and has power over a person is how YOU operate. Go get followed around a Walmart simply because you showed up and people such as yourself had pre conceived notions about you based on this fact.. then you may slowly begin to understand....
I think part of the problem (in regards to why phenomenal black creators don't have the numbers of mediocre white creators) has to do with the algorithm, as well. You touched on it when talking about searching 'sneakers'; it's harder to *find* black creators in the first place. That's a problem that needs to be addressed; it shouldn't take "beef" or "drama" to have them rise to the forefront
I have to deliberately search for it. I have to put in 'black' a lot of times but so be it.
There's also talent agencies, influencer networks, and the access to tech companies, unavailable to most others, that they provide for those that are part of those things. There will always be a huge unseen advantage for those with connections to power networks that are invisible to most of us.
💯 algo related imo - YT is part of the wider agenda of the likes of Vanguard and Black Rock...
To state my position in this conflict with Company Man and WTD, I was a fan of WTD, and I didn't know Company Man that much or his YT. Seeing the back and forth, from start to finish, made me frustrated and annoyed not only at WTD's inferences and interpreting of of facts, but about how dishonest Company Man really was in presenting WTD. In his first video, response to WTD's Family Matters, Company Man intentionally focused in on WTD's counting of n**** 37 times as if he's a white ignorant racist. When I reviewed further, WTD is in fact justified to pay more attention to that word because in Euphoria Kendrick was saying to Drake 'We don't wanna hear you say n**** NNNOOO MMMOOORRREEE!!', and par his breakdown Channel and analysis WTD noted that Drake was more often using this word. Also Company Man falsely conflated WTD's manifesto to become the ;best hip hop head in this space' for a goal, which is not categorically a goal.
Furthermore, I also had issues with Company Man's or Justin Hunte's response to WTD's crashout stream. Firstly I disagreed with how WTD handled this drama he should've ignored him, or broke down where Company Man misrepresented him and moved on ignoring Company Man. In Company Man's video he claims, after viewing in screen WTD's Channel that there were '21 Black people' and 'absolutely ZERO white people.'. That was factually false because 10 seconds earlier on screen we saw 4 thumbnails of white people rappers, 1 about Eminem and other rap beef, 2 vids on Tom Macdonald being some culture vulture, and 1 video on Kid Rock being a culture vulture. If WTD was such an ignorant white racist, then why does he have 4 thumbnails of white rappers, 2 videos on Tom Macdonald and 1 on Kid Rock being culture vultures?
IMHO, I could be wrong just intuitively speculating here, Company Man got in his feelings and was triggered by WTD's counting of n**** 37 times, because Company Man stated that he didn't use the word for 20 years. IDK if he meant verbally or thought about the word, but that's his proclamation, which is suspicious to me because the common motif for abstinence is avoidance of someone, something or some image or word's power over you. Also Company Man later stated he was really biased for Kendrick and wanted Kendrick to win, which IMHO is his confirmation bias which made him misrepresent WTD in that way.
@@danielnelson3136 I'm going to need you to google "Gish gallop"
This is my second video and you definitely earned my subscription. You can feel he loves hip-hop
I honestly thought WTD just had an unconscious bias, as he stated he's a huge Aubrey fan before, and that bias just came out in that Family Matters video. Once he started doubling down and spreading the narratives more I knew it wasn't unconscious but purposeful. All the research he claims to do and he never checked the dates of the story the girl told about what happened in Vegas. Mad weird.
Then to tell a black man he not black?! It's the same weird sh*t Aubrey did when he tried to say what Kendrick was and wasn't in the West Coast. It let me know just like Aubrey, WTD not like us.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡💯
WTD still pushing the narratives
Sipping on that Happy Dad juice 😂
He removed his apology video.
I remember he did a video talking about he has bipolar disorder...so yea, do with that info what you will.
@@namenlosNamenlosof course he did.
Uplift the voices who bring honor to hiphop 💯
Loved this. Sincere and insightful.
3:21 You are spot on about DJ Alcoholics. He sat way over in New jersey talking about Chicago gangs and perpatrated more murders in my city in the 2020's with no knowledge of my city
WTD was mad at Kendrick fans and he took it out on Kendrick by doing that bs breakdown of family matters which also showed how racist he really is
Those comments about being a "milk man" Made me livid!!!
The racism jumped out.
@@SEOshogunpissed!!!!

Finally someone who speaks positively about the culture. It's not about being a victim then going out to make more victims
First, thank you so much for your discussion about Blackness and gatekeeping our culture. It’s never been about race. It’s always been about respect for the culture. Second, thank you very, very much for addressing the misogyny and hatred of Black women in hip hop and in the community in general. So many of us truly appreciate this. And third, I was highly offended by What’s the Dirt, but our community let him in. What typically happens is that we don’t gate keep the culture enough. So we let these folk come in, do really well. We hype them up. (I saw too many people in the culture throwing praise at this guy and doing too much to shower him with praise and inviting him to the cookout. It was concerning.) So when Matt was able to mock the culture, define what blackness is, and go way too far. I really appreciate you shutting that down. I appreciate the others doing that too.
He started off being someone who broke down HipHop lyrics from beefs, until he got lost in his hubris and sold his soul to the OVO crew🤦🏽♀️
He really had a great potential to being one of the go to channels for breakdowns, but his bias became his downfall
🔥🔥🔥💯🫡
I watched a few of his videos because they were doing such huge numbers, but I'm a white European so I didn't think I should take my hip hop information from a white Canadian. That seemed pretty useless. So I ignored his channel, wasn't right for me, whatever. Then someone pointed out his Trump seltzer sponsorship and I knew this fool isn't just as much outside the culture as I am, he's shady as hell. AS HELL.
💯
Literally same 😂 I watched his "history of the beef" video and he was basically just recapping things other creators had been saying so I moved on. I watched reactions to his 6 16 one instead - didn't get a good vibe from him at all.
@@dandelion_official4812 Right, it was so obvious he was just repeating what other people were saying, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because there's value in gathering all these theories in one place and just presenting them as is. The thing that bugged me is that he rarely seemed to credit any of the black creators he took that info from. Like, how hard is it to say "so and so on this channel said this and I thought it was great so go give them love."
If he did do that and I missed it I obviously take it back, but I think if you're a white person in the hip hop commentariat it's 1000x more important to shout people out. If you're going to take up space, if you absolutely must, you better be damn sure you take some people with you. Like you have to know that the algorithm is working for you and against them so at minimum (AT MINIMUM) you have to do your part to correct that unfairness. I never saw him do that or even acknowledge he knew it was happening.
But besides all that, he just never talked about anything substantial. Sure, he could do the Genius thing of explaining every granular reference but he didn't have the experience and knowledge to put those things in their wider context. (Neither do I, but that's just one of the many, many reasons I haven't started a hip hop commentary channel.) Who honestly cares if you can identify what that machine sound was or if there's a yacht called Predator if you don't understand the social context of why the beef was happening in the first place? It all felt extremely navel-gazey to me. He can parrot the textbook but he doesn't understand the material.
@@clementinedangerthis is the most cogent articulation of a WTD criticism I’ve read. Thanks for the decency. Heard, read, understood.
@@JamisonRelapse Thanks, but I'm just saying what I learned from others too, mainly TCM, FD Signifier, [Deleted] and ShawnCee. The irony isn't lost on me, trust me.
Man..those ppl ain’t never heard of Jurassic 5, Hieroglyphics, A Tribe Called Quest, the Roots..HIP HOP artists. They speak on real life, uplifting shit. Pharcyde, Murs, Atmosphere, I can go on forever. These artists have straight classics. If you are reading this, and have not listened to any of em. Plz do. I miss that type of art..K Dot has a feeling of that time. Cole does too at times.
Sorry for the rant lol. Love y’all. Please vote.
You got my subscription homie. You spit nothing but facts on this one.
"We can be whatever the f*&$ we want to be"... yes we can. Great video!
Facts Bro!!
Educative video 🔥🔥👏👏 Am glad the rap battle introduced me to channels like yours
Another great video❤
Excellent video, man. Resonated with so much of this.
I think his apology to Justin was really fake. WTD thinks that his audience doesn’t know anything about hip-hop unless he tells them. Because if you watch the first video he made about Justin. He acted like he didn’t know who Justin was. He acted like Justin was just some TH-camr.
The thing that really makes me know that he’s fake though that he was talking with Monie before he dropped his family matters video and she had receipts that proved Kendrick never hit Whitney. She told him straight up if you put that in the video as a fact, it’s not going to be good and he did it anyway, and after his video was released, he turned around and called her a hater…….. but still use the three week old clip of her saying saying nice things about him to make it look like she cosigned his bullshit.
That’s the biggest problem with Matt is he thinks his audience is stupid. He really thinks that his audience that watches his videos aren’t watching every other video about Kendrick Lamar versus Drake. Thought he was so big that if anyone called him out on it, all he had to do was say they were just hating on him for clout and people would buy it.
The whole world knows that not only were the dates wrong and kind wasn’t even there that night, but that the girl that was actually beat up was Cassie and it was Diddy that beat her up. Matt knows that but he still wants to push this narrative that it was kind because he sees what’s happening with Aiden Ross, AK and Adam 22 . And he’s watching Adam and Aiden and he realize that after he apologized that these other two white boys didn’t have to apologize and they just double down on disrespecting black men in favor of Drake and they’re getting away with it so now he thinks it’s OK for him to do it too.
What’s the purpose of an apology if you’re just gonna come back and keep lying to Black people about Black people?
Your Like That video was really good. I couldn’t believe how there weren’t a ton views on that
I'd love a culture vulture video...but I'm a video essay head, FD Sig, D'Angelo, Kat Blaque, Interlexual, Conscious Lee, etc. and all of those keep me going with the long videos.
0:35 you are absolutely correct because DJ Akademiks is definitely the textbook definition of an envious culture vulture
Cant really blame people for the algorithm. Despite his recent crashout. He had decent videos that people would've tuned into, regardless of race. Which makes his crashout look worse in retrospect
Thank you for being so open about your experience. It broadened my understanding of everything that is going down rn
Thank you for speaking up!!! It’s about time people understand how to respect people’s cultures 🙏🏽
The most disappointing thing for me,was platforms like Joe budden podcast,one of the so called gatekeepers,saying he found nothing wrong at all with that Dirt guys breakdown,and even DMing him,who needs enemies when they are within?
I think that as a white person in hip hop you should keep in your heart that the competitive nature of it doesn't apply in the same way to you. It's so easy to take a lot away when being white, because white privilege is a thing. I think that when WTD tried to punk TCM for not having the same hype, he was taking advantage of that lopsidedness in a way that's insensitive for someone who is involved in hip hop culture.
As for the rapper persona, I think that a lot of it comes from tropes... People who were really like that made epic tales out of that imagery, and now we all have these images to "use". In my way of seeing it, it's a way to portray feeling violently more than the box in which people are trying to put you. There's a lot of symbolism and poetry going on in gangsta inspired rap. To confuse that with guidelines for real life masculinity is kind of crazy, tho. Drake is doing a lot by trying to get his hands dirty just to live aesthetically, for an example.
p.s: Decypher Ed is amazing for breakdowns. Skip has very nuanced and knowledgeable commentary for every track.
As a biracial black woman married to a white man, I’d really be interested in your experience with y’all’s marriage! Of course no one is a monolith so you can’t speak for anyone as a group, but interracial relationships have so much nuance that I haven’t see voiced.
That part! I'm an Indigenous Mexican/Louisiana Creole mix married to a white/Cherokee. I guess not anymore, he passed in April, still getting used to that.
But the years together....wow. Both being products of interracial couples to become the 4 corners of the earth we were packed a lot of nuance. I don't think we got as many looks as you might, though, no one race knew who to be mad at, if you feel me. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Perhaps you should start a channel
@@magnolia_g Sending you so much strength as you adjust to this new part of life ❤️🩹 I hope the things that remind you of him begin to bring comfort that you aren’t alone, just surrounded differently.
I’ve been thinking about starting a channel for forever now, maybe this is the push I needed! Definitely going to start pondering the topic (: Thanks for the encouragement!
It’s called individuality..
We are not a monolith..
None of us are..
thank you for sharing your thoughts 💭
😁
to be fair vlad knows about hip pop history. People like Ak and adam don't even care to learn about hip pop because they don't really love it like that
Justin Hunte, The Company Man just reacted to one of you videos and recommended your channel and and I came to check it out. Am not disappointed, you have a new subscriber.
You put into words what I haven’t been able to about white dudes covering the culture.
We have a tendency to heap too much praise on these guys. That’s the real problem. We need to learn how to gatekeep much better than we do as a culture. I believe that’s what Kendrick is talking about. Not so much about race but about respecting the culture.
Another great insightful video start my day. I want to make a few points about the three people.
1) Dj Vlad is a clown and a hungry culture vulture trying so hard to be black. He’s an informant who constantly gets people interviews to speak about drug & gang related violence.
2) I never like DJ Akademiks he to me is an instigator who’s always running his mouth and act like a radio gangster, I didn’t like the idea how he disrespected Spice 1 and OG West Coast legend.
3) Adam 22 is the worst all his interviews when I watch him closely is always an argument and always fighting, he used to be a porn star and he still married to porn star name Lena the plug. You’re 100% right we should’ve never allowed these two out of three clowns into our culture.
I really appreciate where this channel is going. Another poignant piece of content.
Love your videos man ❤
Beautiful, heartfelt, articulate, sincere and passionate video. You got a subscriber from me, I'm looking forward to checking out your older videos

Looking forward to watching more videos
Great talk… keep it up!!!

As a racially ambitious woman who fits in none of the categories, I appreciate your thoughts on code switching- I'm not rich enough to be above it. And thank you for the talk on misogyny, I find it's usually women holding it down and lifting up.
The only white person I listen to about hip hop is Professor Sky, but it's hard to find those who aren't all drama and gossip, you're right. So first time here, gonna stay. I'd also like to hear about your interracial marriage, cause all my relationships are interracial. Thanks for the nuance
Jeremy Hecht and Rob Markman are great suggestions to watch regarding Hip Hop commentary.
@@lydiaapolot5460 I like Jeremy, haven't heard Rob, I'll take a look. Thanks!
WTD was already toxic because of his coverage on black drama and trauma. But I believe OVO got to him, because it took FOREVER to drop that Family Matters breakdown. He probably was sending it to Drake for review and approval on every point. Lol
I respect you young brother. You get it. There's alot of people outside our culture who simply do not understand the nuances of hip hop and black people. We definitely need to gatekeep this thing of ours a bit better.
“Limiting the view of what a black man could be in America” - excellent distillation of the issue
SUBBED!!! And will stay one AS Long as you keep it real and genuine🙏🏽💕 glad I found you!! Love your take🙏🏽
For real❤
Well, well, well! I'm from South Carolina too, Rock Hill to be exact. The WTD crash out was wild because YT folks really been saying the quiet thing out loud all 2024.
Idk how they getting so comfortable showing it buuuuut...I'm GLAD it's getting exposed.
Thank you for saying this. I don't listen to Future for the same reason. I can't deny his artistry, but I don't like the subject matter
Thank you
I completely agree with this. Makes complete sense to me.
Realest video of yours to date
Sadly, your words are indeed true about the culture should share some of the blame and how some black creators are to blame as well. I know this one “content creator” who is black and basically defended WTD while shifting the blame on TCM. I tried educating him about why WTD is getting all this heat, but he basically shrugged me off and double down on his take. That lets me know he’s part of the problem too.
P.S.: I put the air quotes around “content creator” because nobody is watching his videos 😅
I’m black, and we’ve constantly had these conversations forever, so I understand what you’re trying to say. I agree with most of it. The way you worded certain things, to me, may come off as if you believe that the way white ppl talk and behave should be the standard, when in public. Code switching shouldn’t be necessary, whether we’re in public, or not. We should be able to speak however we do, and still be respected, as long as we’re respectful to others. We have to educate ourselves, and others, and stop accepting the narrative that the way we speak, isn’t appropriate in the workplace, and other public places. I’m not referring to slang, of course you have to minimize using that at work, but AAVE is just the way the majority of black ppl speak, because of our history in America. You’re right about black ppl not being a monolith. Making assumptions based off of stereotypes is never right for anyone to do. As far as Future, I understand what you mean, in regards to the character issues he displays, at times, but there are black men/women who talk, and look like him, that are upstanding, and they deserve respect. We should be able to be us, no matter what setting we’re in.
Speaking facts
We black in here today babyyyy 🙂↕️✨
Well said, my guy. Our blaqness is not limited, we’re so much more. I feel the same way about WTD, he fails badly. Not necessarily Kramer but close.
You just reminded me of being at a Halloween party for all the people I worked with, where I was all buzzed out & was dancing n grinding against my boss's girlfriend the whole night 🤣
I’m black and I’m proud in my James brown voice idc I won’t forget 400 plus years of trauma and injustice
Awesome video! Instant sub from me, I'm glad I found your channel 💛 Always appreciate seeing authenticity on here 🙏
This is all facts. When WTD said that N-word shit I knew he don’t know black people just gangsta rap shit. To him people like Justin Hunt don’t exist. My thing with Trap Lor Ross is he lost himself. He don’t talk about Hip Hop he just talks about Chicago killings and king Von…but that’s what gets him the most views.
💯
Excellent thoughts! Please, please, please clip a piece of your segment at the end about what it means to be black and stick it at the beginning. That's what folks visiting the culture don't understand - we are allowing them to see facets of our existence, not the entirety of it. So some things are just not in their knowledge base to comment on. Also, no one has really mentioned it, but if his explanation of why Drake was saying certain things was true, then that just further supports why Drake is being considered a culture vulture - because he doesn't have the knowledge base, either...
What's the name of the video of ya prediction?

He hasn’t posted in a month - WTD
10:13 this i never looked at Future as a real rapper. Yeah he got hooks and a coukd bars but he raps about the same thing at his big age with all HIS children looking up to him.
And since when lyrical skills have to do with killing a cat? What type of chitlins is that?
Loved the video, bodyslamming the sub and like buttons. I’m very new to the yt hip hop space but I will say that the main thing that pissed me off about wtd is that he’s a white CANADIAN questioning the blackness of an AMERICAN black man like bro, stay on your side of the border. You actually know nothing at all.
Calling Justin Hunte Carlton as a white n166a from Canada is like Drake calling Dr Dre Carlton. Both dudes may not started out as street dudes but they got cred nonetheless they was out there, may not be putting it work but they study the streets and has the ear of the street n166as. By the eay you hella funny bruh I love watching your shit cus we have similar ways like we been through shit in our hoods but we in the books and understand the "white" vernacular..
